Posted July 15, 200816 yr I have been using a Buffalo LinkStation Pro LS-250GL High Speed NAS Wireless External Hard Drive and all of a sudden I can't network with it. It has worked fine for over a year on my primary XP (SP2) laptop, and 2 other laptops I own (both XP SP2) have no problem accessing the hard drive and its files. Now - although I can access the hardware through its web interface and can log in and change settings, it won't let me access files. I have been in contact with BuffaloTech support as well as Symantec/Norton and both insist that something changed in Windows to cause access problems. I have disabled and re-enabled Norton Antivirus and uninstalled and re-installed the Buffalo LinkStation software and updated their firmware to no avail. I haven't used the external drive for a month, maybe 2 months, and I doubt I could rollback far enough to a system restore point to see if that would solve the issue. Is there any other way to see what could be causing this issue?
